Our Number Lookup service allows you to find out the network operator and other details about the consumer's mobile phone. This can be helpful in tailoring your txtNation service to consumers in Kuwait.
Compliance matters
Wherever you operate mobile services, you must obey local telecommunication regulations. We can advise you on any aspect of your mobile campaign or billing service. Regulators publish guidelines that must be fully understood before you can use our platform. Operating a mobile service in one country may be very different to running one elsewhere.
This page contains some basic compliance information that may be of use to anyone wishing to run a service in Kuwait. However, you should always consult with your account manager or our support team before you launch to obtain more comprehensive guidance.
This is to protect us, your company, and all the consumers in Kuwait, where they expect a high quality service. Let us support you to get this right.

Consumers must demonstrate that they wish to use your service and that they give permission to be charged as appropriate. There are various ways in which consumers can "opt in" to a service, which varies country to country. You should ensure you understand the opt-in requirements for Kuwait before you launch.
